Interesting fact
The Denarius coin was minted during the Roman Republic, a time when Rome was still a republic and not yet an empire. The coin features the image of a Roman warship, known as a trireme, on one side, and the abbreviation "A͡V͡T͡R ROMA" on the other, which stands for "Autonomous Republic of Rome." This coin was used as a standard form of currency throughout the Roman Republic and was valued at 10 asses, which was a significant amount at the time.
